Three days till departure. The tough part right now is saying goodbye to all my family and friends. If you're reading this, then chances are you're on the list of people I'm really going to miss an awful lot.

Last Monday was everyone at work, on my last day. Today I went to say goodbye to my grandmother, and tonight was a bunch of my friends. Still a few more goodbyes to come tomorrow and Monday. It's almost worse dragging them out. But I know we'll keep in touch, and I'll be back before anyone even has a chance to miss me... right?
